It's Christmas Time!

After being pretty bah-humbuggy for a good part of my life, I have now regained my interest in Christmas. It's all because of Sterling. To see the look on his face when I finally plugged in the Christmas tree was all it took. It squeezed my heart just a little tighter than usual. He's been thrilled with Christmas decorations, and sometimes we drive out at dusk to see them (that's at 4:30, these days). It amazes me how quickly he's picked up on Christmas. He's already told us that Santa will bring him a police car that has two doors that open. I didn't even explain to him the whole Santa story! He woke up from a nap and told me that was what Santa was bringing him. He caught on to Halloween pretty quickly, too. Hmmmm.

Sterling, Steve and Shilo inspecting the "tree." (It's really an upside down tomato cage with evergreens wired on it. My DIY tree.)

Sterling back to his every day play: puzzles from Aunt "Yora." He's better than me at them!
